SUMMARY

Gabriel Resources Inc. holds an option on 4 4 mineral claims

between Quesnel and Prince George i n c e n t r a l B r i t i s h Columbia.

Access to most of the claims area i s by secondary roads.

The claims were located i n 1981 following a heavy mineral

comcentrate sampling program of t r i b u t a r y drainages east of

Fraser River. Exploratory work by Gabriel Resources Inc. has

been d i r e c t e d to three p r i n c i p a l properties which from north

to south are Government Creek, Yardley Lake and Abhau.

The p r o p e r t i e s are underlain p r i n c i p a l l y by Mesozoic v o l c a n i c

and sedimentary rocks which are intruded by ea r l y Cretaceous

g r a n i t i c rocks. The Government Creek property covers drainages

with anomalous gold values i n heavy mineral concentrate samples.

The Yardley Lake claims include a large area w i t h i n which

airborne conductors are p a r t i a l l y coincident with zones of

higher magnetic i n t e n s i t y and copper-zinc anomalies i n s o i l s .

A massive s u l f i d e zone on the Abhau property c a r r i e s s i g n i f i c a n t

precious and base metals values and a strong airborne conductor

has been i d e n t i f i e d i n the northwest part of the property.

A l l three p r o p e r t i e s warrant further exploratory work.

Geological mapping and lithogeochemistry i s recommended for the

Government Creek property at an estimated cost of $25,000.

The Yardley Lake property should be tested by electromagnetic,

magnetometer and geochemical surveys, estimated to cost $120,000.

The massive s u l f i d e zone on the Abhau Creek claims should be

further defined by Induced P o l a r i z a t i o n surveys and by 2,000

fee t of diamond d r i l l i n g . The airborne conductor i n the northwest

part of the property should also be tested by IP surveys,

coupled with s o i l and/or rock geochemistry. Estimated costs

for the proposed program are $205,000.

Recommended programs f o r the three properties have a t o t a l

estimated cost of $350,000.

INTRODUCTION

Gabriel Resources Inc. holds, by way of an option agreement,

44 claims comprising 844 u n i t s between Prince George and Quesnel

i n c e n t r a l B r i t i s h Columbia.

This report, prepared at the request of G a b r i e l Resources Inc.,

i s based on numerous unpublished reports and maps d e t a i l i n g

exploratory work c a r r i e d out on behalf of the Company over the

past four years. References to much of t h i s information are

l i s t e d i n the appropriate section at the end of t h i s report.

The w r i t e r also examined parts of the large property holdings

i n the company of Mr. A.G. Troup, P.Eng. on August 7,198 5.

LOCATION AND ACCESS

The subject mineral claims are s i t u a t e d east of the Fraser

River and cover an 8 0 square mile area extending from 30 miles

south of Prince George to 15 miles north of Quesnel (Figure 1).

The claims are w i t h i n an area between 53°06 l and 53°30' North

l a t i t u d e and 122°17 f and 122 033 l West longitude.

Access to most parts of the claims i s by way of numerous

logging roads east o f f highway 97 (Figure 2). The B r i t i s h

Columbia Railway p a r a l l e l s highway 97.

MINERAL PROPERTY

The property holdings include 44 Modified Grid mineral claims

comprising a t o t a l of 844 u n i t s . The claims are contained i n 10

PHYSICAL FEATURES

The claims feature gently r o l l i n g topography, t y p i c a l of the

I n t e r i o r Plateau, and elevations generally do not exceed 3,000

feet above sea l e v e l . The area i s tree covered, except f o r

logged areas, and major drainages flow west to Fraser River.

Deeply i n c i s e d canyons are prevalent along some of the major

drainages.

G l a c i a l deposits of g r a v e l , sand and c l a y obscure bedrock

over much of the area covered by the claims, and best exposures

are confined to low h i l l s and areas adjacent to major drainages.

HISTORY

E a r l i e s t work i n the area of the present claims was d i r e c t e d

to placer gold. Most of the major creeks have been worked by

placer operations; Hixon Creek was o r i g i n a l l y tested i n the

1860's coincident with the Cariboo gold rush.

Gold-bearing quartz veins along Hixon Creek 4 miles northeast

of the settlement of Hixon have been s p o r a d i c a l l y explored since

the e a r l y 1900 fs. Limited production i n the 1930 fs included

2250 tons y i e l d i n g 206 ounces gold and 224 ounces s i l v e r .

In more recent years, exploration for porphyry copper and

molybdenum has been conducted within and adjacent to some of the

g r a n i t i c i n t r u s i o n s i n the present claims area.

In the l a t e 1960 fs, claims were located north of Abhau Creek

i n an area now covered by the present Abhau property. Massive

s u l f i d e m i n e r a l i z a t i o n was explored by Cariboo Minelands Ltd.

( l a t e r Equatorial Resources Ltd.) i n 1968 and 1969. Work done

included bulldozer trenching, s o i l geochemistry and geophysical

surveys and 8 diamond d r i l l holes t o t a l l i n g 3,000 f e e t . Texas

Gulf Sulphur Company acquired the property i n 1971 and completed

g e o l o g i c a l mapping, magnetic and electromagnetic surveys and

s o i l geochemistry p r i o r to r e l i n q u i s h i n g the option. E q u a t o r i a l

Resources d r i l l e d 5 percussion holes t o t a l l i n g 1,530 f e e t i n

1972.

The A.T• Syndicate conducted heavy mineral concentrate

sampling of major drainages east of Fraser River* between Prince

George and Quesnel i n 1980. Results of the survey l e d to staking

of the present properties which were optioned from the Syndicate

by Gabriel Resources Inc. i n 1981.

Since that time, G a b r i e l has c a r r i e d out a d d i t i o n a l heavy

mineral concentrate sampling, s o i l and rock geochemistry, VLF-EM

claims. E x p l o r a t i o n expenditures to date approximate $600,000.

REGIONAL GEOLOGICAL SETTING AND MINERAL DEPOSITS

The three properties included i n the G a b r i e l Resources Inc.

holdings are s i t u a t e d within the Quesnel Trough, a subd i v i s i o n

of the Intermontane t e c t o n i c b e l t . Quesnel Trough, a northwest

trending b e l t extending from north of Kamloops to north-central

B r i t i s h Columbia, i s comprised p r i n c i p a l l y of l a t e T r i a s s i c -

e a r l y J u r a s s i c Takla Group basic to intermediate v o l c a n i c flows

and p y r o c l a s t i c rocks and a r g i l l a c e o u s sedimentary rocks.

In the Prince George-Quesnel area, Quesnel Trough Mesozoic

rocks are i n f a u l t contact on the east and west with l a t e

Precambrian metasedimentary rocks and Paleozoic sediments and

PROPERTY GEOLOGY AND MINERALIZATION

The Government Creek, Yardley Lake and Abhau pr o p e r t i e s are

underlain p r i n c i p a l l y by e a r l y Mesozoic Takla Group v o l c a n i c and

sedimentary rocks, intruded by ea r l y Cretaceous g r a n i t i c dykes

and stocks. Early T e r t i a r y sediments o v e r l i e Takla rocks i n the

southwest parts o f the Yardley Lake and Abhau p r o p e r t i e s , and

p o s s i b l e l a t e Precambrian metasedimentary rocks occur marginal

to a large g r a n i t i c i n t r u s i o n east of Yardley Lake.

Government Creek

The Government Creek property (Figure 3) i s underlain by

north to northwest s t r i k i n g Takla Group i n t e r l a y e r e d v o l c a n i c

and sedimentary rocks, l o c a l l y intruded by Naver granodiorites„

Best exposures are i n Government Creek and t r i b u t a r i e s along the

west margin of the property and adjacent to Buckley Creek i n the

south c e n t r a l claims area. N.C. CARTER. Ph.D.. P.Eng. CONSULTING GEOLOGIST

Heavy mineral concentrate samples from Buckley and Government

Creeks y i e l d e d a number of anomalous gold values (+6400 ppb)•

Quartz veins, up to 2 feet wide, were noted i n Government Creek

i n carbonatized g r a n o d i o r i t e . Rock samples y i e l d e d minor gold

values but s o i l samples i n the general area of the quartz veins

had values of up to 300 ppb.

A number of north-south VLF-EM conductors were i d e n t i f i e d

on the two claims comprising the southwest part of the property

south of Hixon Creek (Figure 3). S o i l sampling over a number of

these conductors f a i l e d to i n d i c a t e anomalous gold values,

p o s s i b l y due to deep overburden. S i m i l a r r e s u l t s were obtained

over VLF-EM conductors immediately east of Government Creek.

Yardley Lake

Northwest s t r i k i n g Takla Group a n d e s i t i c to b a s a l t i c flows,

t u f f s and b r e c c i a s and minor i n t e r l a y e r e d a r g i l l a c e o u s sedimentary

rocks occupy the c e n t r a l part of the Yardley Lake property

(Figure 4). These overly a s l i g h t l y o l d e r p h y l l i t i c sequence i n

the e a s t - c e n t r a l claims area, while mica s c h i s t s , p o s s i b l y of

l a t e Precambrian age, occupy a contact zone between the p h y l l i t e s

and a large e a r l y Cretaceous Naver g r a n i t i c body underlying the

eastern part of the property. A northwest trending s i l l or dyke

l i k e body of a c i d to basic i n t r u s i v e rocks, several hundred feet

wide and over a several mile length, cuts Takla v o l c a n i c rocks

i n the c e n t r a l p a r t of the property. The v o l c a n i c rocks have been

l o c a l l y converted to c h l o r i t e s c h i s t adjacent to t h i s i n t r u s i v e .

T e r t i a r y sediments o v e r l i e older rocks along Terry Creek i n the

northwest part of the property.

Heavy mineral concentrate samples from major drainages

y i e l d e d a number of anomalous gold values i n the 10,000 to

46,000 ppb range. Some anomalous tungsten values were noted

adjacent to Naver g r a n i t i c i n t r u s i o n s .

P y r i t i z e d Takla Group vo l c a n i c s were found to contain up to

0.10 oz/ton s i l v e r and quartz veins along Terry Creek i n the

northern part of the claims area had values of up to 0.13 oz/ton

gold.

A recent airborne INPUT EM survey i n d i c a t e s a number of

conductors, coincident with, and marginal to northwest trending

zones of increased t o t a l magnetic i n t e n s i t y over an 8 mile

distance* between Terry Creek and Yardley Lake i n the southern

part of the property. S o i l sampling over parts of t h i s large area

shows copper-zinc anomalies to be coincident with some of the

airborne conductors.

Abhau

The Abhau property (Figure 5) i s underlain by Takla Group

andesite and b a s a l t flows and t u f f s with some i n t e r c a l a t e d

a r g i l l a c e o u s sedimentary rocks. These layered rocks are intruded

by an e a r l y Cretaceous g r a n i t i c body along the north boundary

of the claims and by three small g r a n i t i c stocks along Abhau

Creek i n the c e n t r a l part of the property. T e r t i a r y sedimentary

zone of l o c a l l y o x i d i z e d massive s u l f i d e s which has been traced

by trenching over a northeast s t r i k e length of 200 feet (6 5 metres)

(Figure 6). The zone, which c o n s i s t s of p y r i t e , p y r r h o t i t e ,

c h a l c o p y r i t e , s p h a l e r i t e and galena, dips northwest at 45°-55°

and ranges i n width from 3 to 8 f e e t . Stringer to massive s u l f i d e s

are contained i n a cherty a r g i l l i t e w i t h i n an augite porphyry flow

extending f o r 1500 feet southwest of the showings area, and

other l i n e a r zones of anomalous copper and zinc north and north

east of the trenches area.

Several northeast trending s u b p a r a l l e l conductive zones were

detected by VLF-EM surveys i n the v i c i n i t y of the trenches; many

of these are discontinuous and may r e f l e c t f a u l t i n g i n t h i s area.

Only weak magnetic response was found over the main showing.

The second area of i n t e r e s t was detected by an airborne

INPUT survey which d i s c l o s e d a strong southeast trending conductive

zone i n the northwest part of the property. Subsequent VLF-EM

surveys further defined the zone as being up to 700 feet wide.

Numerous other airborne conductors were interpreted as s u r f -

i c i a l responses, i n c l u d i n g one over the main showings area where

outcrop i s f a i r l y abundant.

CONCLUSIONS

The Government Creek, Yardley Lake and Abhau properties cover

large areas which have been only p a r t i a l l y covered by exploratory

work to date.

Only s e l e c t e d parts of the Government Creek claims have been

s y s t e m a t i c a l l y covered and the anomalous gold values obtained

from i n i t i a l heavy mineral concentrate sampling require f u r t h e r

i n v e s t i g a t i o n .

The Yardley Lake property includes a large area of airborne

conductors which are p a r t i a l l y c oincident with zones of higher

t o t a l magnetic i n t e n s i t y and copper-zinc anomalies i n s o i l s .

A d d i t i o n a l d e f i n i t i o n of these zones i s warranted.

The massive s u l f i d e zone, p a r t i a l l y exposed i n trenches i n the

ce n t r a l p art of the Abhau property, has been tested by only one

previous d r i l l hole. Results are unavailable. Surface samples

yielded s i g n i f i c a n t precious and base metal values and extensions

to t h i s zone are suggested by geochemical and geophysical surveys.

The airborne conductor i n the northwest part of the property

represents a second target area.

RECOMMENDED PROGRAM

A program of ge o l o g i c a l mapping and rock geochemistry i s

recommended to evaluate the northern and eastern parts of the


-14-

of the Government Creek claims.

Airborne conductors on the Yardley Lake property should be

furt h e r defined by v e r t i c a l loop electromagnetic and magnetometer

surveys, accompanied by s o i l and/or rock sampling.

I t i s proposed that a program of l i n e c u t t i n g be undertaken

over the present Thunder Creek g r i d on the Abhau property p r i o r

to an Induced P o l a r i z a t i o n survey which should y i e l d b e t t e r

r e s u l t s than previous geophysical surveys i n further d e f i n i n g

the massive s u l f i d e zone. The presently defined zone warrants a

program of diamond d r i l l i n g .

An IP survey i s also recommended f o r the northwest:property

area to define the airborne conductive zone. S o i l and/or rock

sampling should also be c a r r i e d out.
